But
a
branch
curved
through
the
Selkirk
Range
and
down
the
mighty
canyon
of
the
Skcena
to
Prince

This
branch
would
become
the
principal
rail

line
to
the
men
fighting
to
hold
Alaska
against
the
Invader.
"On
April
5,
1942.
Prince
Rupert
was
officially
designated
a3
a
sub-port
of
the
Seattle
Port
of
Embarkation.
Engineer

and
civilian

poured
into

"For

only
a
mixed
train,
half
day
coaches
and
half
freight,
from
Prince
Rupert
to
Red

three
times
a
week.
Suddenly
the
rails
be-jran
to
hum.
Locomotive
whistles
echoed
in
the
canyons
of
the
Skcena
and
the
Bulklcy.
A
dally
passenger
train,
complete
with
pullmans
and
diner,
commenced
making
the
trip
in
each
direction.
Special
troop
trains
ran
as

The
rusty

were
loaded
with
long

running
behind
double-header
engines.
Thoroughfare
For
War
"Extra
sidings
were
construct
ed
too.
Bridges
and
trestles
were
reinforced.
New
rails
and
ballast
were
added.
One
of
America's
most
scenic
rail
routes
became
a
thoroughfare
for
war.
An
armoured
train
was
put
into
service
behind
a
mammoth
diesel
locomotive
to
protect
the
Prince
Rupert
line
from
possible
aerial
attack.
This
train
was
fitted
with
searchlights,
machine
guns
and
anti-aircraft
weapons.
Canadian
soldiers
manned
it.
The
bristling
steel
cars
patrolled
the
countain"
tracks
which
connected
Prince
Rupert
with
Red
Pass
Junction.
"In
Prince
Rupert
Itself,
the
Army
Engineers
went
to
work.
Dockage
along
the
waterfront
was
doubled.
A
huge

Across
the
broad
Prince
Rupert
harbor,
a
military
staging
area
was
built
at
Port
Edward.
There,
men
were
housed
while
enroute
to
or
from
the
Alaskan
theatre
of
war.
"Freighters
stood
at
the
docks
in
Prince
Rupert,
taking
on
supplies
for
Ancharogc,
Seward,
Nome,
Dutch
Harbor
and
other
key
Alaskan
points.
Barges
shipped
equipment
to
Juneau
and
Skngway
at
the
far
end
of
the
Inside
Passage.
Bulldozers
and
steam-shovels
rolled

for
the
construction
of
the
1,600-mile
military
road
from
Dawson
Creek
to
Fairbanks.
Where
formerly
a
locomotive
whistled
three
times
a
week
in
the
gorge
of
the
Skecna,
the
granite
walls
now
resounded
to
the
noise
of
Innumerable
trains.
"The
United
States
Army
spent
$17,600,000
converting
Prince
Rupert
Into
a
model,
modern
port.
Hon.
James
A.
MacKinnon.
Canadian
minister
of
trade
and
commerce,
says
that
his
government
spent
an
additional
$1,-7C6,775
for
a
naval
b;ise
and
harbor
defences.
"Today,
Prince
Rupert
is
the
best
equipped

north
of
Seattle
and
Vancouver.
It
is
(he
only
northern
port
tied

These

of

in
the
North

"Railroad
freight
rates
to
Prince

and
to
Seattle

Portland
have
been
equalized.
This

that
